The message is very true. I had never thought about it like that. Many people would never understand unless they have been there though. They often think it's just a phase or for attention. They don't realize how, just like a physical disease, it affects your every day life as well as those around you and can even kill you. It's more real and painfull than many people will ever realize. For many people it is their life and it's NOT a choice or preference. It's a mental illness.
